My position is whats the point? The egr doesn't fail on these newer trucks. The Dpf works just fine on these trucks. However there have been problems with some tunes not working on trucks and destroying motors but it's your choice. There is no way that a tune would increase fuel millage period. More power means more fuel. You cant have more power without adding more fuel into the motor. Only way to have better fuel economy is less fuel so do you really want to lean out your truck with less fuel. Never herd of a guy that doesn't drive around with the max tune in his truck. Its like the guy with the Mustang with 2 keys. The one for normal driving and the red key for going fast. Which key would you use. i would lock up the normal key and carry the red key in my pocket.
These trucks have all the H/P and torque you would ever need on the street. I have about 60,000 miles on my truck and not a single problem with anything. I have towed a 5th wheel more than 30,000 miles and still not a single issue with my truck. I just dont see why guys feel the need to delete these trucks. After all its just a truck. if you want something fast than Ford has a couple of choices to fill the need for speed.

Exactly, better mpg, no emission equipment issues, don't have to worry about idle time. Oil stays cleaner for way longer after is changed. That's why I always laugh when people say deletes cause more harm than good. Use a big name tuner and you'll have no issues and it will be more reliable than stock. Problems arise when either the owner or shop have no idea what they're doing and rip equipment off without verifying they have delete tunes first. Haven't heard of hardly anyone blowing up a 6.7 by deleting it, heard of a couple of job 1, 2011's drop a valve but that has nothing to do with deleting.

Think about what your saying....a regen dumps fuel to clean the dpf. Eliminating that process saves fuel. Additionally by removing the dpf you remove exhaust restriction further increasing economy. I picked up 2 mpg at least. I run a stock or tow tune tune all the time.
The issues ive encountered since deleting involve sealing up the unused connectors, specifically the 3 wire ones on the NOx. If water gets in them it causes some minor issues.
To the OP, the grass is greener on the other side.

The oil in this pic has right at 7,500 miles on it. Biggest reason I delete em. Pic in front of "mod" sticker for full effect

Aside from the 1-2 MPG increase in fuel mileage, more power, better trans shifting with more lockup options, slightly stronger exhaust brake, and more reliability potential than a stock truck, I don't know why we would want to delete these things...
